Jesko Raffin is European Champion in Moto2 with second race canceled

Jesko Raffin crowned European Moto2 Champion after Sunday’s second race was canceled. During the day, the spanish track was targeted by heavy rain including the first leg where Héctor Garzó triumphed over the competition.

However, this second race was a real headache for the organization. With nine of 19 laps completed, the race was suspended in hopes of finding better conditions on the track and in the pit lane itself, which in turn even left some teams without electricity.

The weather didn’t improve and the organization decided to cancel the race, according to the official broadcast, crowning then Raffin as European Champion.

On the basis of this decision, those responsible reported that it would take at least 90 minutes to remove the water from the entire runway, so cancellation became a possibility right at the time.

Faced with this situation, and with the race canceled, Edgar Pons has the same 48 points for Raffin while Augusto Fernández maintains the third place with less 81 points.
